I agree, but it does take a while to figure out that leiningen exist

And then you learn that not everyone use leiningen ... and things become a bit more confusing than necessary for some people, especially beginners

Sorry but this whole conversation is a stretch. Anyone who looks into Clojure finds out about Leiningen. The official clojure.org even mentions it. No it's more than a stretch, it's rationalizing.
As I mentioned at length in my prior answer, this was not the primary driver.
``brew search clojure`` used to find leiningen; not sure why not now.

In fact it used to find leiningen instead of clojure; possibly clojure didn't exist as a brew tap before.

Previously, there was no brew formula for clojure and there was a hardcoded pointer to leiningen. When the clojure formula was added, that was removed.
